  • You should not take the ownership of things belonging to others without your right. You should refrain from thefts, robbery, fraud etc.(5)
  • You might have a question within you that if such Karma’s are not to be done then why such men are created?(6)
  • You should keep the knowledge within yourself that Prakruti has created such Men so that Man learns to take care of his belongings.(7)
  • You listen attentively with caution. Those people who take like this will have to give back.
    Prakruti will give something in defined appropriate return of the Karmas such as commiting theft, robbery and fraud.(8)

  • People who say “we should not be angry” and advise others like that also sametimes get angry The intelligence stop working when one is angry.(12)
  • Instead of doing work with anger one should act intelligently by keeping the anger under control. But one should not do the Karmas by intelligence guided by anger. If you will understand the difference of doing the work from within, you will be able to control the anger.(13)
  • You should not be ‘Proudy’ from the happiness given by the Prakruti. Pride is also such a quality that it takes possession of the intelligence. One can feel pride but not be proudy beyond certain limit Satvikta.(14)
  • If the pride goes beyond certain limit it starts driving the intelligence therefore the “proud” should be kept under control by the intelli-gence.(15)
  • One should not enjoy sex without the internal desire of the other partner.(16)
  • The Man or the Woman who is able to control sex instinct and observing celibacy can easily develop spirituality from within.(17)

  • The God has given the sex instact to advance the Chaitanya. This awarness should be kept at Stavik level. You should keep in your mind, that this intinct should be at Satvik level which is of God form.(18)
  • The great Man and Woman who are keeping the unity of Atma on top by sex and keeping sex in Satvika form are showing the light of the God.(19)
  • This sex instrict becomes like a fire in Rajas and Tamas forms and it commands control over intelligence whether that of Man or Woman and transform adversly intelligence and Mann and bring down fall of the person concerned.(20)
  • There is no serious sin in this world than ommitting “rape”. One should be careful that no sins are committed to satisfy lust and nobody should play with the life of anyone. The sex should not be allowed to cross the limit of Stavikta. This should be kept in mind.(21)
  • God has created attachment so that the world can go further and arrangments are mainted when this attachment takes the form of Tamas than the knoweldge of the Man comes to and end.(22)
    • Page No – 168
  • When this attachment goes out of the level of Satvikta it gets hold of intelligence and make the intelligence and Mann dance and ultimately bring its total downfall.(23)
  • The attachment, if restricted within Satvikata then there are good results. We should keep the intelligence awakening and control the attachment.(24)
  • Thus you should remain aware from the action resulting from the excess of attachment and control intelligence.(25)
  • The emotion of misesliners makes the Man to forget what is good and what is bad. It creates the emotion that there is nobody except him and others have no emotions.(26)
  • If this miserliness goes beyond Satvikta in that case very much harm is caused to them. When it is harming others, the Prakruti immediatly reacts and destroys it.(27)
  • Therefore when the level of Tamas and Rajas go high then miserliness should be brought under control by intelligence and the actions restulting from miserliness should not be taken.(28)

  • The God has created “jeolousy” for progress. This emotion has emerged from the instinct of going ahead of others and the world also goes ahead.(29)
  • Satvik competition is necessary in the world but when this jealousy goes out of Satvik level, there are controvarsies and disputes which cause obstacles in the great movement of Prakruti.
    The jealousy coming out of the Satvikta level brings the down fall of the Man. This jealousy can be brought under control by the God given intelligence and should be continously be kept in mind that it does not go beyond the level of satvikta.(30)
  • Such an emotions take the man to such an extent that the Man even though he has no benefit to himself he causes damage to others and ultima.tely brings his own destruction.(31)
  • Thus the work resulting from the jealousy of Tamas and Rajas should not be done.(32)
  • Emotions are created in our Mann for relatives and friends. We are jealous of their progress and in our internal Mann we feel happy if

  • they suffer misery. But we show from outside that we fully happy by their progress and unhappy in their difficulties.(33)
  • This emotion shows two form (i.e. inner and outside) Man’s emotion and takes us far away from the real form.(34)
  • By this emotion the intelligence of the Man ends. The emotion that every thing is happening due to Prakruti also disappear. The light of knowledge also end. An illusion of God also ends.(35)
  • One should not do Karma from this emotion. Such emotions make the Man a hypocrate. We should not indulge in hypocracy.(36)
  • Son, you should keep in mind that every emotion created by Prakruti is meant for advancing quality of the human life. This emotions are in every Man.(37)
  • In every Man God i.e. Narayan is there.(38)
  • By awakening Narayan BHAV all emotions in the body it should be brought under Narayan BHAV. You look to your body. Your hands, legs, eyes, ears, tongue etc. are functioning as per order of your brain.(39)

  • The Rishis of India have spread the knowledge of great raw gold by writing story, illustration, and legends and given the noble method of living life to the Indian society.(47)
  • Indian scriptures have depicted the highest emotions of Tamas form, Rajas form and Satvik form and also told us which emotions should be kept and how long and also the Satvik level of each emotion.(48)
  • Therefore after studying scriptures each emotion should be kept within the Satvik level and no action should be taken by Rajas and Tamas emotion.(49)
  • By devotion and a worship of God the Narayan BHAV within is awakened and as a result automatically all kinds of guidance becomes available.(50)

  • You forget the great world within you by getting attracted towards the physical world. Many time the one who is engrossed in the world within forget the physical world. Both these things are wrong.(52)
  • By excellently combining the Physical world and the world within the Man, one should live a life by Narayan BHAV so that you can keep your step within the great movement of the Prakruti.(53)
  • The physical world is a gift of a nature you should be careful that you do not disturb the movement of Prakruti by your hands, legs, eyes, nose, ears and you should be constantly vigilant that no such actions are taken.(54)

  • This is also scientific fact and it is as effective as the rule of the physical world and the real rule of the world within.(56)
  • Mann is such a deep power and so put it under the control of intelligence which is conducted by Narayan BHAV. By that it will give you an understanding of highest ideas of physical and non-physical both the world and get from you proper work.(57)
  • This monkey like Mann may take control of the intelligence inspired by emotion and that way take actions as per intelligence and at that time it will be an undersirable act.(58)
  • Thus how much I can tell you about action not to be taken which will remain incomplete. You yourself is your guide. You have to wake up from within.(59)

    Now onward you are going to be “existence less” all actions of life and the direction of work should diverted towards making human life stream happy. You should not do any action in the opposite direction.(67)
